I have a question on these events... right after the Army Corp announced that they’re blocking access to the site, the local Sioux tribe extended their thanks to the Obama administration.

The White House’s directive today to the Corps for further delay is just the latest in a series of overt and transparent political actions by an administration which has abandoned the rule of law in favor of currying favor with a narrow and extreme political constituency.

That’s the part that enrages and baffles me the most (aside from everything else, I honestly can’t decide). You literally hire actors to pretend to feel emotion. There is no reason to force them to actually feel it. There is no fucking reason to make a woman really feel like she’s going to get raped. Talk to her like…

I didn’t want Maria to act her humiliation, her rage. I wanted Maria to feel, not to act, the rage and humiliation.

It’s strange to me that this is news now. I mean I’m glad it’s being talked about. But she said this FOREVER. Now people believe it because they heard men verify it?

I usually try to ignore it, but then I am so pissed later on that I let it go, but I let it go because she’s terrifying and will say anything just to be hurtful. #complicated

*IF* you find yourself needing to stop or switch, PLEASE talk to a doctor about it. Don’t just quit cold turkey and expect yoga to keep you from having issues.

Try to find someone to be her peer/role model that’s in high school or around that age that has their stuff semi-together. I usually didn’t care about being responsible or having a good attitude when adults lectured me, but if my friend’s older sister or a cousin spent time with us I really listened and didn’t want to…

You moved away from home for a job. It was extremely stressful but it sounds like you did it for the benefit of your family. You arrive home during the most motherfucking magical and family oriented time of year only to find out he had an affair. With a 20 year old employee. And it’s not because he enjoys extorting a…

I’m a high school assistant principal, and I have three rules:

Sorry but Happy Birthday!

It was my birthday yesterday, and while it wasn’t the worst it could be, it wasn’t the best. I’ve been sick since Monday with a sore throat and swollen glands. Glands are covered in white spots, ears hurt, etc.

The only thing you can do now is stand by your decision. I’m sure he is grateful you gave him this opportunity (and, honestly, good on you for not succumbing to stigmas) and he should hopefully prove to be a valuable asset.

So after a shit-ton of hemming and hawing and legal maneuvering, my abusive ex has agreed to consent to terminating his rights to my daughter so that my wonderful husband can adopt her. He’s going to be flying down here on Thursday (on my dime, ugh) in order to sign the paperwork. I’m also letting him see the kiddo…

I wouldn’t think less of someone else if they hired a fully qualified, talented employee who is a recovering addict, even if that employee relapsed. Even if that employee’s relapse caused problems at work and the employee had to be let go. Giving a talented, good person who happens to have a history of addiction a…

Well, perimenopause IS INSANITY.

It never fails that I’m on my period when on call at work. So I get to go to bloody crime scenes to which I can contribute some carnage. I feel ya.

About to host some small children for a “pancakes and pjs” Christmas party. There will be rum in my egg nog.

My dogs sleep on my pillow on either side of my head. I have literal buttresses. Farting ones.

I’m going to counter another commenter (sorry commenter). DO NOT mix alcohol and decorating. I tried to mix wine with something as simple as a paint brush. You don’t want to see my living room:(
